Nice of him to copy and paste the Acaeum description without giving credit for it.

I'm pretty sure he swiped the stock image in his auction from the Acaeum as well.

Well, at least he did not steal the other pictures.
At least I do not think so.

Flowers aside...... I cannot imagine a serious collector shooting pictures of a $2,790.45 collectable game module, with the module stuffed into a rubber page holder.

Also, he DID do a couple of edits to that Acaeum description.
He added BOLD to the last short sentance, and a couple of paragraph spaces..........

I asked the seller where he got the picture and description and how much the Reserve was.

Dear aneoth,

Hi im selling this for a friend,
The reserve price is £1500.
And i dont know where he got the discription or the first jpeg from, as he sent it to me via an email.

Nice spot, there King.

I've been periodically searching for those sets with the Hare in them for years, and have never come across one.

That is how I got my copy of Jade Hare.  I didn't know it was there until I picked it up (locally) and opened the box.

My loss, Al (and a huge one at that).  I was really disappointed to miss it, but Frank said he would explain.  All's not well, I"m afraid. As John Lennon said, life's what happens while you're busy making other plans.

Not the 1974 booklet. Is it the 1984?

No, I believe that is the 1979 2nd edition box set. The 1984 box looks like:

I gather the '84 set is more rare than the '79 set, and just slightly less rare than the original pamphlet version (any print.) But, I don't claim to know for certain... just what I've discovered in trying to hunt for it (strangely, I found 1st print, 1st edition BH before the '84 box set.)


Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.
